GOP's health care repeal

This is in reference to the “great” House vote (The Patriot-News, Jan. 20) on the repeal of the health care law. Was I dreaming in Novem­ber when the GOP and tea party said they want­ed less waste in government? Now the House is patting itself on the back because it passed a re­peal on health care. Passed it to what?

It will not touch the Senate or the president, so it just spent the first three weeks in session working on something that it was well aware would go nowhere, and it got paid for that.

Between this and the Sarah Palin crosshairs fi­asco that blew up in her face, I think the 2012 election can be secure in the Democrats’ hands.
